I’ve been trying different nibs for drawing purposes and this one dose a nice
job. It’s got a good range of line widths and can do a pretty fine line for
such a flexible nib. I mostly use Zebra G nibs and this one feels a bit more
flexible so the line quality may be a bit tough to keep consistent at first vs.
a more rigid nib but it works really well if you get used to it.

I absolutely love this nib and use it daily to address envelopes and do
lettering. It's very flexible, so if you have a heavy hand it might not be the
nib for you.... it's like night and day between this one and the Nikko G nib.
That one is so stiff.

An agile little nib that puts down a great range of expressive linework and fine
detail, surprisingly ink-conservative (even with wide lines). It's tiny, and
easily fits in a small inkwell or bottle cap for refills.
It also fits the same handle (Tachikawa T-25) as the Zebra G and Brause "Blue
Pumpkin". A great complement for both or either too, as an in-between to the
Zebra's extra-fine abilities and the Pumpkin's more consistent, broad lines.

Very friendly dip nib for a first-time user. Started without a hitch in Higgins
india ink, amazing flex for line width variability. I am super happy with this
nib, and eyeing the blue pumpkin steno with my next purchase!

It's a bit smaller than you might expect but it has a lot of flexibility and
line variation. Fit's nicely in most pen holders and is one of my favorites to
use for calligraphy. Worth the price for sure!
